    Without looking it up, I cannot be 100% sure, but I very much doubt that you'll do a minor. It is much more likely that you will do 1 third of the year in each of the three languages.

    Edit:
    Just looked it up. You definitely don't do a minor as well.

    Re: Question and Answer Thread
    I'm an international student from the United States studying abroad at Lancaster this coming fall. I am a pole vaulter on the track team at my home college and was wondering if Lancaster had a track team and if so who I could get into contact with once I get to campus? I've looked through the website and haven't found much for athletics beyond info about the Sports Centre.

    Thanks!!

    Anyone know when the best time to be applying for jobs around town next year is? I know a lot of the on campus/lusu ones are already hiring, but I can't find a lot in terms of places in town...

    Re: Question and Answer Thread
    Does anyone know about the scholarship for Channel Islands students? I saw in a Lancaster leaflet that they were giving CI students £1000 off, but I can't find it anywhere else, or if I need to fill anything out...

    When enrolling, what type of documents are required? I have lost some of my GCSE certificates, does it matter? I would appreciate if an existing student could answer my question.

    A-Levels as a photocopy and your acceptance letters should be all you need.

    Acceptance letter and proof of funding if you need it... I didn't bring my IB certificates because the info gets sent to UCAS and they confirm you get your results... I presume it operates the same for A-levels o.0

    I am pretty sure LUSU shops hire at the beginning of each term because of people's timetables they need quite a few employees. I would just apply for jobs asap before people realise they don't have enough money to live off (probably around Decemberish round my house)
